Assuming that it follows on from Wheelock, this sounds just the ticket:<br /><br />Second Year Latin - Greenough - Beginner to Intermediate Latin Reader (thick)<br /><br />Do you have to be thick though?<br />

[quote author=jeff link=board=3;threadid=694;start=0#6713 date=1064403096]<br />yes, it's more like 600 meaning that it would be a massive download of around 30 MB. <br />[/quote]<br /><br /><br />I have no problems with downloading a 30MB document (gotta love high speed connections!), but I'm sure there are people who are using dial-up and such a d/l would take an excruciatingly long time. I would prefer working with one PDF, however, it might be a good idea to offer this one in 3 or 4 smaller parts for those who can't feasibly d/l it in one fell swoop. Although hd space is cheap, there may also be people using much older pcs with smaller hds and it's possible they might not have enough space for 30MB at once. I think offering multiple discrete PDFs would make this book available to more people in this situation. They can d/l and work through one small part at a time (or archive it to make space for the next section).<br /><br /><br />(I realize that it's possible to divide up a file into multiple smaller downloads, and then have people piece it all together afterwards (for example, using WinRAR), but I think that can cause its own difficulties with requiring people to have some util to do that, nevermind learning how to do it.)<br /><br />

I think I'll try it with this one.<br /><br />The book has a natural division between Part 1 - Easy Selections and Part 2 - Gallic War. (not to mention Textkit already has Gallic War)<br /><br />I can just do each part, along with the notes in the appendix and vocabulary. It would reduce the file size by about 40% I think.

I love it when I can understand Latin. I'm looking forward to the day when I can actually hold a conversation in the Agora.<br /><br />

[quote author=Keesa link=board=3;threadid=694;start=15#6929 date=1064579944]<br />I notice that no one has voted for Gildersleeve yet. Does everyone except myself own a hard copy? [/quote]<br /><br />Yes, Gildersleeve is quite lonely there. I think it's due to the fact that it's "watered down". I didn't choose it because I would have wanted an unabridged version.<br /><br />Gildersleeve is one the book high up on my "to buy" list. I'm just waiting for the day when I'm advanced enough to appreciate it. It comes in both hard cover and paperback. I've already decided on the hard cover.<br /><br />

[quote author=mariek link=board=3;threadid=694;start=15#6948 date=1064590356]<br /><br />I didn't realize Terence was Roman drama. Is there a lot of drama available out there?<br /><br /><br />[/quote]<br /><br />For Roman drama on Perseus (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cache/pers ... Roman.html) look under Plautus (T. Maccius Plautus) or Terence (P. Terentius Afer) for comedies. Tragedies by Seneca also survive but are not on Perseus. Look in Forum Romanum (http://www.forumromanum.org/literature/ ... ngerx.html) under Tragoediae about 2/3 of the way down the page.

I have a butterfly mind, it never stays in one place for long. I have a huge list of favourite links. When I first got onto the internet I just went link-happy, always clicking on links and then saving them to look at 'later'. For many of them 'later' has never come, but I can find lots of things in my list. Looking for information is something I enjoy doing. The looking is half the fun. I just wish I could find someone to pay me to do it. ;D I would be in heaven.

<br />You might try emailing that person to see if he's willing to make an exception for you. I really don't think sending a book to the UK could be all that much more work.<br /><br />Have you searched eBay in the UK?<br /><br />
